Good Times

We were so lucky to have Dan around this weekend because he took a big test on Wednesday and doesn't start his next rotation (OB) until tomorrow. I'm pretty psyched that he'll be on his OB rotation when I have this baby. If Baby Boy comes in the next two weeks (cross your fingers for me), Dan will actually be scheduled to work at the hospital where he'll be born. So, even if he can't get any days off, he'll be able to drop in and see us.

Needless to say, I am eager and willing to go into labor at any minute. I hope that the baby is on the same wavelength. I also hope that he'll be head-down when he decides to come. At my appointment two weeks ago he was transverse (like this but with his back up and feet down):
and last week he had his head down, but was "unstable". Unstable meaning that he's still moving around a ton and not engaged in the birth canal. In fact, I felt him go sideways again a couple of days ago. What a stinker. I can't believe that he still has that much room. We are grateful that he seems to be spending most of his time head-down lately (including right now, I think) and we'll see what the doctor says at my next appointment on Wednesday. We are super excited to welcome a healthy boy into the family and I'd like to do it now please. :) I thought that I would do some posts today and tomorrow so that I will be all caught up in case he comes this week.

Without further ado, here are some pictures from last Thursday at the Children's Museum. Dan asked Elena what she wanted to make in one of the Build-It rooms and she said a helicopter, so he looked a little photo example and made it happen. I was a doubter, but it ended up being fun.
This picture is pretty much the same as the one above except that in this one, Dan is flying beside her.Dan actually was able to coax her up two steps in the beanstalk. It leads to the second floor. She quickly changed her mind, but at least I got a pic first. The third leaf is the hardest to get onto and so she lost her nerve. Maybe next time...
